How to start the cut

Once cutting a line with a marking gauge or a knife, put the nail of your forefinger and thumb into it, put the saw’s teeth against the nails, and push gently.

Crosscut saw

Once you’re making cabinets, there are always small parts, such as moldings, drawer stops, pulls, and pegs that require to be cut to length. As an alternative of using a tablesaw, which could terminate those delicate parts in a flash, I use a carcass backsaw. A crosscut saw with about 12 to 14 tpi and a blade that’s a bit longer and taller than on a dovetail saw can solely make accurate, clean cuts in parts up to 1 in. thick and 3 in. to 4 in. wide. To upsurge exactness, I use the saw with a sawhook, which is just a flat board with a square fence. The hook is excellent because it gives you a way to hold the project still throughout the cut and aids to keep the saw cutting square and straight.

How to cut a clean shoulder

A crosscut backsaw is faultless for getting rid of the waste in the half sockets on the edges of a tail board. For the best results, chisel an angled groove along the scribed baseline and use the vertical wall of the groove to get the saw in progress. The groove supports to start the saw in a straight cut, therefore that as expected cuts down along the baseline, leaving no waste that requires paring.

Saw hook is great for small parts.

The saw cuts on the push stroke, that helps keep the part against the fence while you cut. A big fence with two kerfs in it; one at 45 and the other at 90° - increases the precision of your cuts and avoids tearout. Locate the kerfs so that the fence will support a venture on either side of each one.

Dozuki

A dozuki saw has a tinny, flexible blade, with sufficient teeth and a straight grip, which makes it well suited to flush-cutting pegs. The elastic tip helps it get close to the base of a pin, and the straight handle is cooler to hold and control with the saw on its side than a pistol grip. Get a crosscut dozuki with about 20 tpi. But why not just utilize a flush-cut saw? Well, their teeth have no set, therefore they clog and don’t cut as great. Dozukis also don’t have those concerns. The tinny blade can kink, thus get a saw with a throwaway blade.

While you saw, press down on the spine to keep the teeth away from the outside. Utilise a block plane or a chisel to flush the edging. Also using sandpaper halts scratches. Where the spine trick will not work, fold a small piece of sandpaper and place it under the blade to avert the teeth from marring the timber.

Coping saw

With its tinny blade and tall frame, the coping saw is skilful at cutting curls. It was utilised in the past to cope molding to get perfect miters.
